One kilomole of an ideal gas is throttled from an initial pressure of $$0.5$$ $$MPa$$ to $$0.1$$ $$MPa.$$ The initial temperature is $$300$$ $$K.$$ The entropy change of the universe is:

In the case of a refrigeration system undergoing an irreversible cycle, $$\oint {{{SQ} \over T}} $$ is _____________$$\left( { < 0/ = 0/ > 0} \right)$$

Consider a Rankine cycle with superheat. If the maximum pressure in the cycle is increased without changing the maximum temperature and the minimum pressure, the dryness fraction of stream after the isentropic expansion will increase / decrease _____________

A heat reservoir at $$900$$ $$K$$ is brought into contact with the ambient at $$300$$ $$K$$ for a short time. During this period $$9000$$ $$kJ$$ of heat is lost by the heat reservoir. The total loss in availability due to this process is
